PHP syntax highlighting through SSH from Mac OS X

Question

I connect to my server through SSH in Terminal.app to use Vim to edit PHP scripts.

I have install some plugins, including php.vim and another php.vim but it doesn't show me anything! So how can I enable highlighting?

Answer 1

You don't need these plugins.

Just type :syntax on in normal mode or add syntax on to ~/.vimrc on the server.

Assuming, of course, that you run a reasonably recent version of Vim on a UNIX-y server.
